Join us as we examine a year-in-the-life of an enterprise data center. We’ll show how consolidating workloads onto a single platform can be the crucial missing step as VMware customers transition from a legacy architecture into a Software Defined Data Center.

Attend the webinar to learn:

-What is the SDDC and how does it help customers?
-How does the SDDC hold the key to making IT more flexible and efficient?
-What are the three biggest obstacles that prevent customers from embracing SDDC?
-How can storage be an enabler of the SDDC, and not an obstacle?
-How can consolidation of workloads be a key driver of infrastructure transformation on your path to the SDDC?

Enterprises around the world have embraced OpenStack as their cloud management platform because of its ability to simply and effectively manage shared infrastructure. To quickly realize OpenStack's benefits, rapid deployment of a production cloud that delivers mixed workload capabilities on a solid and dependable foundation is critical.

Join this webinar to learn how agile infrastructure for OpenStack enables you to quickly stand up a dynamic self-service cloud infrastructure so you can easily take advantage of the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of OpenStack.

Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how Agile Infrastructure:

- Extends the core values of cloud: scale, guaranteed performance, automation, high availability and efficiency
- Ensures you deploy OpenStack using a process that's repeatable and error free
- Allows you to run production and test/dev workloads on one storage platform
- Provides higher utilization, better performance and more operational efficiency than legacy solutions

Although it may sound like an oxymoron, the key to scaling a MySQL platform truly lies in consolidation of the physical storage layer. Whether you are running a dozen or a thousand MySQL instances, SolidFire provides a pathway to horizontally scale the storage layer, enabling capital and operational cost reductions, while virtually eliminating maintenance and replica deployment windows.

Attend the Webinar to Learn

- How SolidFire can guarantee storage performance, dynamically adjust storage resources on the fly, and linearly and non-disruptively scale your MySQL database storage infrastructure.
- How you can reduce deployment times for MySQL replication slaves and reporting copies from hours to seconds.

Join us in the discussion on the benefits of consolidating MySQL workloads on the storage industry’s only all-flash, scale-out, QoS-enabled storage system. With SolidFire you can provision, manage and clone production, reporting, dev/test and QA environments safely, all on the same array.

Analysts project 6X more growth in cloud than traditional IT, but most of your enterprise customers run less than 1/3 of their apps in the cloud today. What’s it going to take for them to migrate the rest to your platforms? In this webinar, cloud and managed hosting experts share experiences and best practices to help drive new revenue opportunities enabled by flash storage.

We’ll discuss:

-Enterprise application trends and how to drive more applications to your cloud & hosting platforms

-How to differentiate your services for competitive advantage

-Where new profit centers may await and where other service providers are placing application and technology bets for maximum revenue growth

The benefits of cloud are indisputable. Commodity servers and myriad networking choices have made choosing the right infrastructure relatively painless. Storage, however, remains a complex, expensive aspect of setting up a cloud ― one you can’t afford to get wrong. When it comes to storage for OpenStack, one size doesn’t fit all, and you need to choose the right tool for the job. What kind of workloads require Cinder block storage for optimal performance? With so many production-quality distributed block storage systems available today, how do you know which one will best meet your needs?

Attend the Webinar to learn:
- What workloads are best suited for performance-optimized block storage
- What storage features are critical to the success of your OpenStack cloud
- How and where to utilize complementary object storage

Scaling multiple databases with a single legacy storage system works well from a cost perspective, but workload conflicts and hardware contention make these solutions an unattractive choice for anything but low-performance applications.

Attend the webinar to learn about:
- How SolidFire’s all-flash storage system provides high performance at massive scale for mixed workload processing while simultaneously controlling costs and guaranteeing performance
- How to deploy four or more database copies using SolidFire’s Oracle Validated Configuration, at a price point at or below the cost of traditional storage systems
- SolidFire’s Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee; every copy receives dedicated all-flash performance, so IT admins can deliver solutions with confidence and maximize business efficiency
